Well actually it's better-born "cousin" - Mac OS X is.
When is XP the first-born available ? God knows. But you really don't want to touch it, do you ? until MS fix it with SR1 to better imitate OS X. Same old story...
I'm just glad MS is not in charge of human evolution...or we'll all be mutants.

I know a couple of people with the XP beta, but it's not really anything special. I'm just curious if the betas have been sending back configuration data to microsoft, so they know who has what...
Kinda crazy isn't it??
I wouldn't even dare corrolate OS X with XP
not cousins, not even second cousins,, maybe you could get away with saying they're both american???
I wonder if you have to re-register XP after putting on a service pack,, or may TO get the service pack you have to re-register,,
fire the U.S. Census, Microsoft shall count us now...
